Pete Buttigieg to Americans Facing $3 a Gallon Gas: ‘We Understand These Concerns’
Breitbart ^ | 05/12/2021 | Charlie Spiering

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was unable to answer a question Wednesday about how long gas would be at three dollars a gallon but stressed he understood American’s feelings on the matter.

EPA Administrator Michael Regan and the transportation secretary spoke about the crisis at the daily press briefing at the White House.

When asked directly by a reporter about his message to Americans who were facing the high cost of gasoline, Buttigieg replied, “My message is that we understand these concerns that we’ve seen in a lot of the impacted geographies, that this is a real issue.”

The average cost of gas in the United States hit three dollars a gallon on Wednesday, the first time since November 2014.

Gas is over $4 per gallon in California. You get what you ask for in California.

$3.00 a gallon is just a warm-up, they want it much higher.

The entire democrat party and 75% of the republicans are in over their heads. They have shown little ability to do anything that actually helps the country.

At $3/gal, a Tesla Cybertruck (Tri, FSD) will pay for itself in gas savings at ~400,000 miles.

We understand your concerns, but we really don’t care as we don’t want you driving because it is against our climate change goals.

At some point common voters will understand what the Democratic Party is really about. When that happens, Republicans will take over both houses of the federal legislature and the White House. It is such a shame that the Republicans lost the House of Representatives.

Pennsylvania motorists have been at or over $3.00/gallon for a couple of months.

Thank you, Tom Core-BUTT! /s
